Just for Fun

Rachel Roddy is one of my favorite food writers -- she is an author who known for her focus on Italian cuisine, particularly that of Rome and Sicily. One of her popular Sicilian recipes is Pasta con le Sarde, a traditional dish that features sardines, fennel, raisins, pine nuts, and saffron, among other ingredients.

In this dish, the sardines are cooked with garlic and onion until they break down into a flavorful sauce, which is then combined with sautéed fennel and other ingredients to create a complex and delicious pasta dish. The addition of raisins and pine nuts provides a sweet and nutty contrast to the savory flavors of the fish and fennel. THIS IS A PERFECT PAIRING!
